Hack your mind

Please try to read below

“I wuold liek to tell yuo taht oru mind raed tihs lnie wiht otu ayn probelm becaues ew alreday maed up our mnid”

If you have no difficulty in reading the above line, then you are common and it is very natural for us to read this as our mind is capable of linking it with the pattern we already know.

If you have difficulty in reading the above line, then you are very good – either your mind is fresh or you deny accepting the pattern we already know, and we claim the line as non-readable or with typo errors

The point I would like share with you is all of us, have some judgements about the other person based on our previous experiences. If the previous experiences are good, then we mark the other person as good person, if the previous experiences are bad, then we mark the other person as bad person.

Next time, when we meet that person or when we happen to discuss about that person, our judgement about that person comes to our conscious mind, and accordingly we react.

This is the nature of our mind. There is nothing wrong with that, and you might be absolutely correct with your judgement.

But, sometimes or many times we end up taking a wrong judgement call, and we might not try to understand that person or we might not ready for a new experience from that person.

Interestingly a study shows, that many times we take some other person’s judgement as our judgement when we encounter new people. Our mind can be easily manipulated by other people’s input.

My new age thought would be

(a) Always know that there is a possibility that what we already know as right could end up as wrong, and open your heart and accept people as they are. This would end the conflict within families/society/ this universe.

As always, your comments are welcome.

    By design our mind’s are thinking machines, and they have no way to stop thinking. Similarly, by design, our hearts are feeling machines, and they allow us the experience of being human beings. We all know that we are not our bodies, and certainly we are not our minds. Our minds are simply tools for using in accomplishing tasks we chose to do in this world. We exist within our hearts and use these bodies and our mind to function in this world. There is no need to trick or hack our minds if we consciously spend some time within inside our hearts every day.

    Our minds do take short cuts. When we see something our minds classify it as “like” other things already filed in memory. It is quite easy to have the memory overlay of what we thought we saw different from what was actually there.

    We cannot see what we do not believe will be there.

    If we do not believe a very good thing will happen to us it can literally be in the plam of our hand and we will still not see it.

    It is worthwhile to think about who and what we are on a regular basis and look at our lives from different angles.

    I found it very difficult, almost impossible to read when I first tried to read it. When I told my mind “just look for what you are supposed to see and not what is there I was then able to read it”.
